Possible new discovery - t210 Series 5 PINK border

[tedzan]

Here are some more "wannabe" RED cards that are either PINK, ORANGE, or partially PINK. These T206's
and the T210's were both printed by American Lithographic using the same multi-color process. When a
printer missed the final (RED) inking, the result is either a Pink colored card or an Orange colored one.

I will repeat, that your PINK T210 and Jim's PINK T210 are simply the result of an incomplete printing run.
These PINK cards are not bleached....sun faded....or otherwise. The lack of a gloss on them reinforces
what I am trying to tell you. The gloss was applied in the final step in the production of these OLD MILL
cards. You say that your PINK card has a "flat" appearance....and, that is consistent with my argument
that it is simply an incomplete card.

I do not have a color error T210, but these T206's illustrate my contention here......as it also applies to
T210's (and, for that matter all BB card issues both then and now).

Gotta say Ted, I definitely prefer your argument to the others

I'm not buying that....

The look and feel of T206s is quite different from T210s. I still think this is something that happened to the card after printing and distribution.

Ditto.Brian the wax after being on the card for years would be easily removed,I don't buy the thory that it is a printing error it is something that was done after the cards exited the packs.Just my two cents.

I understand, and like I was saying, yours is a good theory and may be the best one. As the guy who owns the pink card at the start of this thread, I was rooting for it to be a printing error is all I was saying.

nice display Ted-didn't go through the complete process during printing and that fits with what Scott is saying-faulty gloss applied or not applied.

just a misfit but not a new discovery...

Hey B,

I was looking through my 210s tonight and came across another 210 with some border issues-just to a lesser degree. pink?

first card you can barely read the caption -second is for comparison and the third has the same issues as the first but to a lesser degree.

I can't get enough of these 210s-image size, border colors and the gloss-very fun to compare all these cards-at the present time I am going through about 100 of these and will let you know if I find anything else interesting. Starting to research the players also...

note-you can see parts of the red border showing through on the third card

Jim brought up something earlier that's actually a good point. The tips of my pink bordered card fade into red a little bit. I should point out though that a couple of my orange borders do this too. The Yellow-bordered Slaven was the same way as well. But a lot of these variations have tips that are more like the dark red that you're used to seeing on t210s.
